The Goderich Signal-Star, 1986-12-10, Page 2DENN:H SIGNAL-STAR,...�... --'-- ERICH WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 10, 1986 PAGE 2 -�O Landfill site could cost Goderich and area $700,00 Opening a new landfill area and closing the existing fill area is going to cost the Town of Goderich and neighboring municipalities involved with the Holmesville Landfill Site approximately $700,000 over the next three or four years. In a report to Goderich Town Council at their Dec. 8 meeting, the area Landfill Site Committee revealled the results of an authorized study done by Conestoga Rovers and Associates on the land fill site. Tony Crutcher, of Conestoga Rovers, ex- plained to the committee that work authorized to date is completed. He said there is an area ui approximately 14 aei vs to the northwest of the existing landfill area that is available for landfilling with a life expectancy of 13 to 17 years. Hydro - geological testing has indicated the pro- posed area is snore suitable for landfilling than the portion of the site currently in use. In order that the site meet with Ministry of Environment criteria, he explained, leachate removal must be commenced with the leachate treated, probably at the Goderich Pollution Control Plant. There will also be a closure cost on the former fill site. To prepare the new area for landfilling will cost an estimated $120,000. Installation of a leachate collection system is estimated at $100,000. Closure of the existing area is expected to cost $205,000. However. Goderich Ad- ministrator Larry McCabe points out that grants are available for closure and the committee has appliegd for a 50 per cent grant on the $205,000"figure. ______ __" and eventually close To prepare, open eventually close the new fill site is expected to cost approx- imately $255,000. Conestoga -Rovers and Associates will also be required to carry out design and engineering work in 1987, costing approx- imately $40,000 including a legal agree- ment preparation.tLeachate removal will require approximately 5,900 to 10,000 gallons per day be taken to the pollution control plant and cost of this haulage could be as high as $70,000 per year if an outside contractor is required. If the committee were to acquire their own equipment and use their own personnel, this cost could be ie wei Leachate removal will not rs nu ance the until approximately two years system is installed; however, even after closure of the new site (in approve closure of new site approximately 15 years) leachate removal will have to continue at the Holmesville Landfill site for roughly another 15 years. These estimates are based on the assumption the cgrn nittee will continue to pay the operating cost to site owner -operator George Lavis or the future owners of the site. The operating cost is $220,000 per year in 1986 dollars, adjusted in accordance with inflation. This payment is in addition to the $700.,000 in capital costs estimated. Since costs will be distributed over long periods, McCabe said they will not create as large a financial burden as might be expected. "So much of it ( the cost) can be staged that it's not going to be as dramatic as it sounds," he explained. GARB & GEAR'S CHRISTMAS w ,0 FOR GREAT FIT! TOP QUALITY! TOTAL SELECTION!

FASHION CLOTHING Costs to the municipalities involved are determined 'on a population basis, with the Town of Goderich paying a 48 per cent share and the rest divided between other municipalities. The landfill committee are also awaiting a determination by the Ministry of En, vironment on whether a full enviromental assessment or an environmental protec- tion process is required. This is neccessary because the only the original users off the site, Goderich, Clinton and Goderich Township are approved to use the present site. However, Bayfield, Colborne Township and Lucknow have become in- volved in use of the site. to the 'the committee has applied ministry for a determination, or the ministry's approval of the present users of the site in order to avoid either of the above processes. Industrial land prices are raised The price of land for sale in the Goderich Industrial Park has been raised from $7,500 to $8,000 per acre. roved the in- Goderich Town Council app crease in accepting a recommendation from the Economic Development Commit- tee. The motion, approved at the Dec. 8 session of council, calls for a minimum sale price of $10,000 on most lots. The $8,000 price does not extend to two parcels, one fronting on Hwy. 21 and the other on Suncoast Drive, which will sell for $20,000 per acre. The motion to increase the land price came in result of a recommendation by Works Commissioner Ken Hunter, who has recently completed an inventory of the in- dustrial park land. The report indicates an unoptioned 96.35 acres of land is still available, including the recent annexation of the Crich proper- ty from the Township of Goderich. In other business, the committee moved that representatives•of the town meet with local industry to acquire information as to how the town or the committee can assist them in their future plans and develop- ment: This will serve as a possible interm meeting for the proposed Spring Apprecia- tion Night: The committee also recommended against attending the Opportunities Canada Conference to be held in Toronto next March. The goal of the conference is to link foreign investment to local businesses in Canada and create jobs and expand the Canadian economy and in- dustrial base. It is attended by delegates representing 29 different countries. The commiteee felt attendance at the conference would require a great deal of organization and would not prove beneficial unless local industry required foreign investment to develop produt or conference introduce new technology. e informationpackage was referred to the Huron County Development Committee for their consideration. Scott Tousaw of the Huron County Plan- ning Department advised the committee that Ken Bowden of the Ministry of In- dustry and Trade was interested in holding a seminar in Goderich on Jan. 27. The pur- pose of the seminar is to provide informa- tion to individuals on how to start a small business. The committee gave their ap- proval for the seminar to be held. The only cost to the town is to be for advertising the event. PA!
